About Reggio Emilia

The city of the Tricolore on the Via Emilia

Welcome to Visit Reggio nell Emilia.com, an independant Travel guide using the "Visit" branding style adopted by more and more private Tourist Guides, marketing-savvy Hotel organisations or official Convention and Visitors Bureau.

Reggio Emilia is a city where history feels proudly alive, shaped by its Roman origins on the Via Emilia, its role in the birth of the Italian flag and a strong tradition of civic and cultural innovation.

It grew from the Roman town of Regium Lepidi into a lively centre of the Este duchy, whose churches, palaces and arcades still frame its piazzas. On 7 January 1797 the green, white and red Tricolore was adopted here as the flag of the Cispadane Republic, in the hall now known as the Sala del Tricolore. Today Piazza Prampolini, Piazza San Prospero, the Teatro Municipale Romolo Valli and the museums of the city reflect this heritage, while Santiago Calatrava’s bridges and Mediopadana station show its modern face. Reggio Emilia is also known worldwide for the Reggio Emilia Approach to early-childhood education. Few places in Italy combine history and modernity so naturally.

Modern Reggio Emilia blends this heritage with a relaxed, friendly atmosphere. The pedestrian streets and porticoes, the Parco del Popolo, the markets and the dairies of Parmigiano Reggiano offer walks, tastings and day trips to Parma, Modena and the Apennines. Theatre seasons, festivals and the cafés of the piazzas add to its charm. Reggio Emilia is a place where the national flag was born, where food is a culture, and where tradition and innovation coexist with ease.
